Immerse offers a live orchestral concert and a unique learning experience for upper secondary school music pupils. It is designed to inspire creativity and enhance understanding of musical concepts used in the repertoire.

Immerse concerts are offered free to schoolsand seats are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Immerse 2024 features The Origin of Colour, a new commission from SCO Associate Composer Jay Capperauld and introduces creative music-making processes inspired by image, shapes and colour.

The concert will be presented and introduced by Jay himself, who will share how he created this exciting new work. Jay will be joined by visual artist and musician Kirsty Matheson who will introduce her artworks inspired by The Origin of Colour and Beethoven Symphony No 6, 'Pastoral'.

A resource pack will accompany the concerts and be available to teachers a month in advance of the concerts.

We brought both music and art students and both thoroughly enjoyed it. It opened their eyes to the work of composition and how it can be accessed in so many different ways.

Being able to observe the musicians with such proximity was a fascinating insight into their process.
